Google has blocked Chinese tech giant Huawei from updating parts of its Android software affecting key apps like Gmail and YouTube.
The company said it was complying with an order by the United States government which has blacklisted the Chinese firm.
President Trump signed the executive order which bans Huawei from using US technology without explicit government permission.
The ban means new phone models will have to go without popular apps such as the Google Play Store, Gmail, Google Maps, and YouTube.
